I build ASP.NET 2.1 solution based on .NET Framework 4.7.2 cause of dependencies of older packages that I am integrated with.

My solution looks that

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">



  <PropertyGroup>

    <TargetFramework>net472</TargetFramework>

    <Platforms>AnyCPU;x86</Platforms>

  </PropertyGroup>

I started to write down second project with is class based on Framework 4.7.2

I started looking for some test approach that can wired up my server and perform test. I Found that ASP.NET Core 2.1 provides Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing so I configure my test, but when I want to to wired up my app its problem with deps.

Project.deps.json'. This file is required for functional tests to run
properly. There should be a copy of the file on your source project
bin folder. If that is not the case, make sure that the property
PreserveCompilationContext is set to true on your project file. E.g
'true'. For
functional tests to work they need to either run from the build output
folder or the Project.deps.json file from your
application's output directory must be copied to the folder where the
tests are running on. A common cause for this error is having shadow
copying enabled when the tests run.

My question is, if Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Testing is build upon metadata Microsoft.AspNetCore.App is some another option I can perform test on real WebApi that is a Core project targeting net472?

I putted below my class that call my API

/// <summary>

///     One instance of this will be created per test collection

/// </summary>

public class TestHostFixture : ICollectionFixture<WebApplicationFactory<Startup>>

{

    public readonly HttpClient Client;



    public TestHostFixture()

    {

        var factory = new WebApplicationFactory<Startup>();

        Client = factory.CreateClient();

    }

}
